Instructions

Get Started!
1

Halve the chilli lengthways, deseed then finely chop. Heat a frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5-6 mins.

Cook the Chicken
2

Once the chicken has browned, lower the heat to medium and add diced chilli (add as much as you like!), bbq sauce, water (see ingredients for amount) and half the vinegar. Cover with a lid (or some foil). Simmer until the chicken is cooked, 10-12 mins, stirring halfway and adding another splash of water if needed. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Once cooked, remove the pan from the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a board.

Prep the Tomatoes
3

Meanwhile, chop the baby plum tomatoes in half and pop in a bowl. Add the remaining cider vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, set aside. The tomatoes will start to release their juices and create a delicious dressing!

Prep the Slaw
4

Trim and peel the carrot, then coarsely grate. Add the carrot to another mixing bowl. Trim the root from the baby gem lettuce. Take off one leaf per person and reserve - these will go in each burger. Halve the remaining lettuce lengthways. Thinly slice widthways. Add this to the bowl with the carrot. Stir the garlic mayonnaise through the carrot and lettuce and season with salt and pepper.

Get Ready to Serve
5

Preheat the grill to high. Halve the ciabattas as if you were making a sandwich and warm under the grill, 2-3 mins. Once the chicken is cooked and out of your pan, boil the remaining liquid vigorously on high heat until reduced to a thick sauce, 1 min. Tip: Stir frequently to stop it burning! Remove from the heat. While the sauce reduces, use two forks to shred the chicken as finely as you can (alternatively, roughly chop it into smaller pieces).

Burgers, Assemble!
6

Return the shredded chicken to the pan with the reduced BBQ sauce mixture. Give it a stir to ensure the chicken is well coated in all that flavour! Reheat until piping hot if necessary. Fill the ciabattas with the pulled chicken, top with the reserved lettuce leaves and serve alongside the crunchy salad and tomatoes. Dig in!
